Join the BOLT DRIVERS
BACKPAY claim

Have you worked as a Bolt driver?

If so, Join the Claim to get the justice and compensation you deserve. 

Bolt drivers work as self-employed independent contractors. But lawyers believe that the terms of their contracts means they should be classed as ‘workers’. Workers are entitled to a range of rights and protections that self-employed contractors are not – including the National Minimum Wage and holiday pay. 

Lawyers have launched class actions to help Bolt drivers claim back the wages they should have received. If successful, Bolt drivers who join a claim could receive thousands of pounds in backpay.

What do we know about the Bolt drivers backpay claim?

  • If you currently drive for Bolt, or have done in the last ten weeks, you may be eligible to make a claim for compensation for backdated pay.
  • Uber drivers have already won a similar claim after a Supreme Court ruling in July 2020. The ruling gave Uber drivers worker status, meaning they are now entitled to National Minimum Wage and holiday pay.  
  • The successful claim for employment status by Uber drivers means that Bolt drivers stand a good chance of winning their case.
